Never Never
People always asking me
When you gonna make it big
When you gonna be a star
But I don't want my name in lights
I don't wanna be a billionaire
I could care less about radio air
I don't wanna sign my soul away to the devil
So I say never, never
Oh I say never, never, never, never, never, never
Keep all the cars and clothes
Jewelry, fake friends, and hoes
Fortune and fame comes and goes
Here to stay is my soul
Family first, under God
Hope he knows that I try hard
To do right in this world
Be a better man for my baby girl
Be the ultimate husband for my wife
Those two girls, they are my life
They always in my heart
I think of them in each bar that I write
You may ask why am I still making music
Plain and simple, stupid
I do it 'cause it's therapeutic
Pray to God, on my hands and knees
Make me a celebrity
I figured out, eventually
It wasn't in my destiny
I can't see myself being away from my lady
The old me would have no problem
Going on tour, misbehaving
But I'm a changed man
No more Captain Caveman
I say my grace before I start attacking the plate, fam
People asking me, when are you gonna blow up?
What if I didn't?
Would you still come to my show and show love?
Huh?
People always asking me
When you gonna make it big
When you gonna be a star
But I don't want my name in lights
I don't wanna be a billionaire
I could care less about radio air
I don't wanna sign my soul away to the devil
So I say never, never
Oh I say never, never, never, never, never, never
I still wanna be a star, but for now, it's just a facade
So I gotta thank God, at least I've got a good paying job
I still embrace all the hate that I get with open arms
Want me to pay to play, but I won't do that
Who put you on?
Got a house, a spouse, and figured out my bank account is large
It don't matter, if I can't feed my fam and mortgage is off
So why am I stressin' yes men, when I'm destined to have my blessin'
What good is my voice behind this mic if you can't feel my affection?
I'm tryin'a live one day at a time
But my failures got me stuck in this state of mind
Like, am I wasting my time?
Does God have a design for rappers like me?
I'm staring like Spike Lee
Court side, wondering why I ain't playing in it
I hope my family watching, just in case they put me in it
If they're not, just let 'em know that I made a minute
And for that sixty seconds
Let 'em know that I was winning
I'm sayin'
People always asking me
When you gonna make it big
When you gonna be a star
But I don't want my name in lights
I don't wanna be a billionaire
I could care less about radio air
I don't wanna sign my soul away to the devil
So I say never, never
Oh I say never, never, never, never, never, never
I'm no star, just another fucked up artist
It's all just par for this course that I'm on
Regardless
We've all got demons of our own
But still feel so alone
Our insecurities are born from broken homes
And hoping no one knows
That you're damaged goods
Need a distraction, quick
A magic trick
A talent, good
So you dance for them
To try to hide the truth
You blind them with your rhymes
'Fore someone shines the light on you
You kinda panic when your manicness
Comes shining through
And keep the act up, until that's what
Starts defining you
Another line or two
Maybe they'll love you then
Becoming one with your pen
Writing a song that doesn't end
But how long can you fucking pretend
You've still got your heart in this?
It's getting harder even to see
What a real artist is
Now you're the person it's the hardest
To be honest with
When selling your soul to make it big
Sounds like a bargain, shit
But, still, you're thinking
People always asking me
When you gonna make it big
When you gonna be a star
But I don't want my name in lights
I don't wanna be a billionaire
I could care less about radio air
I don't wanna sign my soul away to the devil
So I say never, never
Oh I say never, never, never, never, never, never
I'll never sign my name in blood, on that dotted line
Never sell my soul to the devil, just so I can shine
For that fifteen minutes, I will never compromise
Never bargain with Satan, I hate him
Rather face my demise
I'll never sign my name in blood, on that dotted line
Never sell my soul to the devil, just so I can shine
For that fifteen minutes, I will never compromise
Never bargain with Satan, I hate him
Rather face my demise
When you gonna make it big
When you gonna be a star
But I don't want my name in lights
I don't wanna be a billionaire
I could care less about radio air
I don't wanna sign my soul away to the devil
